+1 to Svet's remarks...
I wouldn't worry about the EVA back pad, imo those are just placebos. I don't think you'll garner any usuable back protection without some sort of hard armour.
The only negative story I've heard about either is a buddy of mine that had an ICON jack rip at the outer-elbow seam and tear up his arm. He claims he was doing 60+, so I'm not sure if many jackets in that price range would have held up to that.
